PIRELLITIRES
12.Storage
Should
you
need
to
store
tires
after
removal
from
a
vehicle
(as
in
the
case

of

tires),
they
should
be
stored
in
a
cool,
dry
place.
To
protect
your

tires
from
damage
related
to:
heat,
water,
ozone
and
direct
sunlight,
it
is

suggested
you
place
them
in
opaque,
waterproof
containers
(e.g.,
plastic

trash
bags).
13.Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under
no
circumstances
are
tubes
to
be
used
in
Pirelli
tires
marked

“Tubeless”.
This
includes
tires
that
have
been
repaired.
If
the
tire’s

pressure
retention
ability
has
been
affected,
so
as
to
necessitate
a
tube

being
installed,
the
tire
must
be
replaced.
14. Tire Valves
Whenever
new
tires
are
installed
on
your
wheels,
new
tire
valves
of
the

correct
type
must
be
installed.
During
your
routine
tire
inspection,
verify

that
all
your
valves
have
proper
valve
caps.
Replace
as
necessary,
since

the
valve
cap
is
also
a
seal
against
pressure
loss.
15.Tire Demounting and Mounting
Ti re
fitting
is
best
left
to
professionals
who
have
the
proper
tools
and

equipment
to
perform
the
task
properly
and
safely.
Your
tires
should
be

mounted
or
demounted,
using
Ti re
and
Rubber
Association
of
Canada

procedures
or
the
vehicle
manufacturers’
recommendations.
Your
wheels

should
be
in
good,
clean
condition.
Wheels
should
be
inspected
for

distortion,
dents,
cracks,
rust
and
foreign


matter,
and
be
replaced
as

necessary.
NEVER
EXCEED

TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This manual is not intended to provide proper training or service
procedures for tire mounting, dismounting, balancing, rotation, or repair.
Please leave these tasks to qualified tire service professionals.
•Toyo brand tires are designed and built with great care. Any tire, no matter
how well constructed, can fail as a result of punctures, impact damage,
underinflation/overloading or other conditions resulting from use. Tire
failures may create a risk of property damage or personal injury. To obtain
the highest possible performance, tires must be maintained properly.
•Remember, you are ultimately responsible for the tires installed on your
vehicle.
Inflation pressure can decrease by 1 psi for every 10°F temperature drop
Important factors in tire care are:
• Proper inflation pressure
• Proper vehicle loading
• Proper vehicle maintenance
• Regular inspection
• Good driving habits
Refer to your vehicle Owner ’s Manual for additional tire safety and
service advice.

8"3/*/(

•Inspect your tires for adequate tread depth. When the tire is worn to
the built-in indicators at 2/32” (1.6 mm) or less tread groove depth, the
tire is worn out and must be replaced. Never drive on tires to the point
that the tire cord or the fabric is exposed.
• Inspect your tires for uneven wear. Wear on one side of the tread or flat
spots in the tread may indicate alignment or other problems with the
tires or the vehicle. Consult your authorized Toyo Tires dealer.
WARNING!
Never drive on a tire if there is any evidence of damage. Driving on
a damaged tire is dangerous. A damaged tire could suddenly fail,
which may result in loss of vehicle control and lead to serious
personal injury or death. Do not attempt to dismount, mount, or
repair a tire yourself. See your Toyo Tires dealer immediately if you
detect damage.
IDENTIFYING DAMAGED WHEELS
Periodically check to see if any of the following symptoms exist, in which
case the wheel must be replaced:
•If the flange is bent.
• If welds or rivets are leaking.
• If the stud holes are elongated and not round. (Improper lug nut
tightening could cause this.)
• If there are cracks in the wheel.
WORN OUT TIRES
Tires must be replaced when tread is worn to 2/32” (1.6 mm). Treadwear
indicators on Toyo tire treads show the 2/32” depth (1.6 mm). Most states
require that tires be replaced when the tread depth is worn to 2/32” (1.6
mm). Tires may lose sufficient wet and snow traction before reaching
2/32” (1.6 mm) of wear. Many wet weather accidents result from
skidding on worn out tires.
Excessively worn tires are more susceptible to penetrations. Consider
replacing your tires earlier if you drive in snow or wet conditions.

WARNING!
Continued operation of your vehicle with excessively worn tires
may lead to loss of vehicle control in adverse weather conditions,
tire failure, and serious personal injury or death.
Any retail tire dealer will be glad to measure your tire’s tread depth for you.
Toyo Tires recommends that tires be replaced in matched sets of four.
TIRE REPAIRS
If any tire has sustained a puncture, have the tire dismounted and
inspected internally by an authorized Toyo Tires dealer for possible
damage that may have occurred. Only specially trained personnel using
the proper tools and procedures should repair tires.
WARNING!
•Before having your tire repaired, tell your authorized Toyo Tires
dealer if you have used an aerosol puncture sealant to inflate/ seal
the tire. Aerosol puncture sealants could contain a highly flam-
mable, explosive gas.
• Driving on an improperly repaired tire is dangerous. An improper
repair can cause further damage to the tire. It could fail suddenly,
which can result in loss of vehicle control and lead to serious
personal injury or death. To insure safety, go to your authorized
Toyo Tires dealer for professional inspection and proper tire
repairs.
• Cosmetic Tire Alterations Can Be Dangerous! Remember — Do not
perform or allow anyone to perform any alterations to your tires.
Alterations may prevent proper performance, leading to tire dam-
age, which could result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle
control and lead to serious personal injury or death.
• Never repair a tire with 2/32” (1.6 mm) or less tread remaining. At this
tread depth, the tire is worn out and must be replaced.
• Never repair a tire with a puncture larger than 1/4” (6.4 mm) in
diameter. Such tires cannot be properly repaired and must be replaced.
• Repairs of all tires (radial and non-radial) must be of the plug and
inside patch type. Using plugs alone on any type of tire is not a safe
repair.
TOYO TIRES – LIMITED WARRANTY

Toyo Tires speed-rated passenger car tires may be repaired and
returned to service under the following conditions:
•Proper repair materials and procedures have been used.
• The damage or puncture is not larger than 1/4” (6.4 mm) in diameter.
• The repair will be the first repair performed on that tire. (Only one
repair per tire is permitted in order to maintain a limited speed rating.)
• The tire must have more than 2/32” (1.6 mm) of tread remaining.
Toyo Tires speed-rated passenger tires that have been properly re-
paired qualify for reduced speed ratings as follows:
ORIGINAL SPEED RATING AFTER PUNCTURE REPAIR
(Y), Y, W, Z, V, VR, H H (maximum speed 130 mph)
TT
SS
The maximum speed of a vehicle is limited by the lowest-speed- rated
tire on the car.
m NOTICE!
A tire’s speed rating is void if the tire has been retreaded, damaged, abused, or
otherwise altered from its original condition. Thereafter, it should be treated
as a non-speed-rated tire. In addition, retreaded passenger and light truck
tires are not warranted by Toyo Tires for any reason. Toyo Tires speed ratings
are voided for retreaded tires.
PROPER SELECTION OF TIRES
When tires need to be replaced, don’t guess what tire is right for your
vehicle. First look at the vehicle Owner ’s Manual or the Tire Information
Placard. They tell you the size of the tires that were on the vehicle as
original equipment.
Replacement tires for any vehicle must be of a size, load range, and load
capacity (by inflation) that is capable of supporting the same load as the
vehicle’s originally installed (OE) tires. Avoid installing used tires on a
vehicle. There is no way to determine what road hazards or abuse a
previously owned tire may have incurred.

STUDDED WINTER/SNOW TIRES
•Studded
/snow
tires
have
higher
traction
qualities
under
most


weather
conditions.
• If
studded
/snow
tires
are
installed
on
the
front
axle
of
any

vehicle,
studded
/snow
tires
must
also
be
installed
on
the
rear

axle.
DO
NOT
apply
studded
/snow
tires
only
to
the
front
axle.
•If
studded
/snow
tires
are
installed
on
the
rear
axle
of
any

vehicle,
it
is
strongly
recommended
that
they
should
also
be
installed

on
the

axle.
Only
if
studded
/snow
tires
are
installed
on
all

wheel
positions
of
a
vehicle
will
optimum

tires
on
the
front
axle
of

any
vehicle
(including
front-wheel-drive
vehicles)
without
studded

/snow
tires
on
the

axle
can
cause
adverse
vehicle

handling
characteristics.
This
can
result
in
a
loss
of

control,

which
could
cause
serious
personal
injury
or
death.
mNOTICE!
In some cases, the vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise against
replacing fewer than all four tires. Always check and follow the
recommendations in the vehicle Owner’s Manual. For 4WD and AWD
vehicles, even small differences in outside diameter may cause drivetrain
damage or mechanical malfunction.
REPLACING TWO TIRES
•When a pair of replacement tires is selected in the same size and
construction as those on the vehicle, the two newer tires must be
installed on the rear axle and must be of equal or higher speed rating
than the front tires. Generally, new tires with deeper tread will provide
better grip and evacuate water more effectively, which is important as
a driver approaches hydroplaning situations. Placing greater traction
on the rear axle on wet surfaces is necessary to prevent a possible
oversteer condition and loss of vehicle stability.
TOYO TIRES – LIMITED WARRANTY
238

•When two new tires have been installed onto the rear axle positions,
they are to be kept on the rear but rotated from side to side. This is
recommended after installing two new tires to the rear position, or if
you discover significant tread depth differences between the front and
rear positions during rotation intervals.
REPLACING ONE TIRE
•Replacing a single tire on a vehicle can have an adverse effect on
suspension systems, gear ratios, transmission, and tire treadwear.
• If single tire replacement is unavoidable, it is recommended that the
single new tire be paired with the tire that has the deepest tread and
both be placed on the rear axle. Placing greater traction on the rear axle
on wet surfaces is necessary to prevent a possible oversteer condition
and loss of vehicle stability.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING
•Proper wheel alignment and balance are very important consider-
ations for safety and getting the maximum mileage from your tires.
You need to check how your tires are wearing at least once a month.
• Your vehicle may be out of alignment if your tires are wearing
unevenly, such as when the inside shoulder of the tire is wearing faster
than the rest of the tread. This condition not only shortens the life of
your tires, it adversely affects the handling characteristics of your
vehicle, which could be dangerous. If your tires show irregular wear,
have your vehicle’s alignment checked immediately.
